parable Of the ten virgins fell from
the lips of q grand chorus, OF sab

BE omitted and Miss Mamie Mitchell
Miss Sadie Mitchell, Miss Jennie
PRIZE, and MIR. LOUIS Kenny de-
serve special commentator for the
appropriate and efficient manner in
which they played their parts, The
little girls dressed III long pan talettes
and calico frocks, and the elderly
matrons with their retIcuIea hang
ing to loose cotton robes, with tar
KEY wing fans in one hand and cot
ton parusols III the other, presented
Il scene not unlike what might have
been witnessed at a country bar0e~
cue forty years ago, while the gen
Llemen with their stuff old fashioned

The fair singer in most effective style,
notwithstanding her embarrassment
III standing upon the stage to sing an
Italian song before such a critical
aseembldge,
But We cannot close without an
allusion to oar fair invited guests
who contributed so much TO the suc~

OF praise for their beautiful TecIta-

her, and the audience was not disap'
